Hey alll

My partners 1995 MX Touring Lancer automatic its randomly cutting out when she comes to stops at the lights etc or just after she starts it up.

When it cuts out the revs drop under 450rpm then dies

We have changed the fuel filter that fixed the prob for half the day

can someone help shed some light

Thanks

Bro, firstly you're posting a lancer thread on a Skyline forum so please don't be too surpised of the input you're getting...

But look, check the spark plugs, coil packs, check engine bay for any loose hoses....

Good luck.'

dude i understand its a skyline forum but i didnt think people so so uptight about it.

for god sake im not posting shit like "oi bro will this pimped lancer beat my skyline"

im asking a general question about a cars prob thought most would understand.

and thanks for the ideas

my gf's mr lancer had an issue lately. the revs would drop too low and the car stalled (hot and cold). it just happened out of the blue one day.

turned out to be the throttle body was caked up with heaps of gunk. this messes with the cold start too, as they use a mechanical system for cold start.

my only guess is to take the throttle body off and clean it out real well, including the idle adjust screw. see how you go.

If that is the problem, blast a heap of carby cleaner down the intake pipe while turning it over with the key with WOT. It should at least get you going.

....then push it off a cliff :dry:

Thanks for that i will give it ago.

I have so far changed the leads and spark plugs and replaced the fuel filter

also cleaned all contacts and cleaned up the battery terminals.

seems to be running a little better but idel still seems very low at times

I noticed common Lancers have similiar problems as what you've described - as indicated, definitely check the coil packs, pluggies and engine for any disconnected hoses/piping... besides that, better bring it to a mechanic and they'll tell you what's wrong right away.

Sorry to hear this bro... good luck. Let us know how you go.

Thanks for the help guys

Looks like the prob is fixed.

What I ended up doing.

Cleaned the battery terminals and tightened them up

Cleaned the factory air filter

Replaced the fuel filter

Cleaned and regapped the plugs to factory gap

Cleaned distributer cap (was spotless anyway)

Cleaned intake with carbie cleaner

Reset ECU

Reset cold and hot idle points

car now seems good from cold to running temp so fingers crossed it stays that way

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
